Teas You Should Be Drinking

Lucky Dragon Hyson Lucky Dragon Hyson
Hyson translates to “Flourishing Spring” and this particular varietal imparts the fresh green character you would expect to be a part of any springtime tea experience. Traditionally, 'hyson' referred to old to medium leaves (leaves below the new growing shoots at the top of the bush) manufactured in a rolled long twisted and sometimes almost clam shaped. The term ‘young’ was added to the nomenclature to distinguish that the tea was made from young leaves (new shoots) and therefore better quality and better tasting. This tea became so highly favored in the 1700’s that the British Tea Tax was actually higher for this variety over other teas. Lucky Dragon Hyson is from a specific factory that further identified their tea because even though produced in the young hyson style it is much better than typical young hyson. Use 1 tsp. per cup and steep 3 minutes in steaming water.

Tea in the News

Black Tea and MilkThe addition of milk reduces the antioxidant capacity of black tea.
Although not as popular in the United States, it is quite common in Britain to add milk to black tea. Some research has shown that this practice may interfere with the antioxidants in black tea, but the results have been inconsistent. In a study just published in the British journal Nutrition Research, researchers examined five brands of British black tea with the addition of 10, 15, and 20 mL (for reference, one fluid ounce is roughly 28 mL) of whole, low-fat, and skim cow's milk to 200-mL of brewed tea (about 7 oz.). They found that skim milk decreased the antioxidant capacity of the tea significantly more than either whole milk or low-fat milk. The authors conclude that "black tea is a valuable source of antioxidants and that the effect of milk on the total antioxidant capacity may be related to the fat content of the milk."
